Wolters is helping lead the fight in Texas to keep it that way. He's speaking out against Tesla's proposal to create an exception to current laws forbidding automaker-owned dealerships.
The current law doesn't stop anyone in Texas from ordering a Tesla Model S online if they want to. Tesla just can't deliver it to the customer. The buyer has to arrange for delivery through a third-party shipping company. Online ordering is currently legal in all 50 states.
In North Carolina, though, dealers are pushing to pass a law that would make it illegal for Tesla to sell cars online there. A representative for the North Carolina auto dealers group did not return a call seeking comment on that legislation._________________"Fuckin' Amesome" --- Joe Flacco
